Musicians from the Mahler Chamber Orchestra
ABOUT THIS CONCERT
Starting in 2024, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra (MCO) will take over the Artistic Direction of the renowned Musikwoche Hitzacker for five years. Titled, aus Leidenschaft (Out of Passion) the festival's 38th edition will reflect the MCO's own passion for music and their wish to engage in an active dialogue with audiences and the festival itself.
In this year's final concert, musicians from the Mahler Chamber Orchestra will place well knownand less well known works, from the classical period to the 20th century, under a magnifying glass, or present them as a reduction, as a kind of consommé, so to speak. How does the sound of Clara Schumann's Drei Romanzen, originally composed for violin and piano, change in an arrangement for chamber orchestra? And does Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 perhaps become even clearer and more transparent when played by a smaller ensemble? Are the colours that the pianist imagines in his or her interpretation of Alban Berg's famous Piano Sonata op. 1 the same when they are painted by winds and strings?
